Like every weekend since the beginning of February, Laliga has ordered a series of blockages on IP addresses which affected not only the IPTV services to watch free football, also on legal pages and have nothing to do with sport or hacking. However, this weekend was something different.
Although the blockages have not ended, even less and all kinds of pages and services are always inaccessible, at least users notice A change in its execution And above all, in the way it affects the legal pages. There seems to be a greater motivation to avoid more damage to third parties, although they have not completely disappeared.

On the one hand, the main affected company, Cloudflare, alleys that Laliga has hidden damage to third parties that the generalized blocking of IP addresses; And on the other, the RootedCon Cybersecurity organization submitted an expert report that would demonstrate the effect that blocking on users and innocent companies a.
